It features Gorilla Glass 5 front and back, a plastic frame, and a glossy “Panda‑X” glass back. It’s also IP68-rated for dust and water resistance.

Front camera: 32 MP, capable of 4K@30fps video. Image quality: Good daytime performance with natural skin tones and wide dynamic range.

Video recording: 4K@60fps on the main camera with HDR and Dolby Vision, log mode, and focus peaking. Front cam supports 4K@30fps. DxOMark score: 180 overall. Strong image/video, but bokeh can appear artificial, low-light noise noticeable, and preview dynamic range sometimes doesn’t match final output. Community feedback: > Some users praise the “Leica color science,” saying it “puts iPhone and Samsung to shame for night portraits.” Others feel selfies are underwhelming: “I find the camera… compared to iPhones it feels more natural—but not as refined.” --- 5. 🔋 Battery & Charging Capacity: 5,000 mAh battery. Screen-on time often reaches 9–10 hours on balanced usage. Charging: 67 W HyperCharge (sold separately) fills the battery in about 42–45 minutes.
